In news that’s sure to excite any Transformer out there hoping to start a band (I’m looking at you, Soundwave) Youtuber Mattias Krantz went and built a custom ukulele that can instantly transform into an electric guitar mid-performance. Apparently Mattias built the instrument because he felt ukulele players don’t get

This is a video of the Clifton Hand-Bell Ringers’ Senior Team performing ‘Dueling Banjos’ on hand bells. I bet they all have great handshakes. Now I’m not sure if you were able to tell from the title, but Dueling Banjos is traditionally performed on– “Slide whistles.” Correct. You’d be unstoppable

A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’ — a solid 80’s banger with an even more solid (denser?) music video. And this is a video of French bardcore band Courseval performing a cover of the song with medieval instruments along the River Seine. I could drink warm ale in my local tavern and

This is a video of Youtuber Mattias Krantz attempting to teach an octopus named Tako to play the piano over the course of six months. That’s a long time. Like a quarter of an octopus’s life. If I spent a quarter of my life trying to learn something, I’d like

Because, just in case you forgot, this IS the internet, these are two videos (I can only assume there’s a frightening amount more) of cat owners playing their felines like bagpipes. It just so happens both the cats in the videos are orange tabbies. Do orange tabbies make the best
